Dispari

Do you mean conceptually or what? Because man I'd love to hear the explanation for this.

One thing that always amuses me (I would say surprises, but honestly it doesn't surprise me) is all the people on the test server acting like things are done and that the devs are incompetent fools for things being the way they are. Every time a server goes down or a zone crashes there's a rage thread about how stupid the devs are and how they can't even keep a simple zone up. And as soon as the gates open and something needs testing, people complain that the new set sucks, the devs dropped the ball, and nobody will play the set on live. Nevermind we haven't even gotten one balance patch yet and the person didn't offer ANY feedback about WHY it sucks -- the devs are morons!

I tried to do some explaining and consoling during the DP closed, since we were absolutely flooded with people complaining about zones being down and being stuck in the queue. I think the majority of it fell on deaf ears though. And I swear someone ragequit over DP sucking before we even got the first patch.

I did a lot of stuff this last beta and found a handful of amusing (read: broken) junk. I hope that's enough to get me into the i17 because while I do want to see and play with the new stuff, I always enjoyed breaking things in humorous ways. I did more this last beta than I think I've ever done (although I did a lot during the AE open and that didn't get me anywhere).

I'm sure she is. That first one anyway. I'd probably even be surprised if she wasn't in the friends and family wave.

Uhh, I don't think you can really compare:

* The storm that was AE at launch where everyone could run giant missions of boss exp enemies that don't fight back for absolutely ludicrous exp and every person in every zone was swarming around the AE to do massively exploitative missioning that allowed you to do 1-50 in an hour, with new players accidentally hitting 50 within a few hours without realizing it, to:

* Slightly exploitative farming that's not really all that fast but is really safe, which is more suited to solo play because you only face one enemy at a time, and almost nobody was doing it and if they were they were doing it by themselves.

Henchman farm absolutely did not overtake the game. It was not ruining lives or destroying teams. It was an exploit and needed to be removed yes, but I don't buy "I couldn't find teams so I HAD to exploit!"

Well i17 is supposed to go live in April. So even if that means April 30th, that's still a short beta period. Even if half of that is closed beta, we'll be playing i17 on test within a couple weeks.

I like the animations, but I also wouldn't mind some more realistic and casual ones so I could make, say, a cowgirl.

Isn't that everything Hollywood touches? They take a story like Sherlock Holmes, X-Men, Street Fighter, etc, and make filth out of it. They don't stick to the original characters or story and it becomes something so far removed that it could have been its own movie, but instead they hot-glued a name of something else onto it to draw people in.

You make it sound like CoH2 would just be the ultimate solution to everything, when in reality it can mean the death of itself (countless wasted manhours and money spent on the new game) or even of both games.

One hour longer every time someone complains.

Naw, Teioh's black chocobo is the fastest. In fact his stats are always higher than yours no matter what! Even if you have max stamina of 999, his will be 1100-1200!

I knew someone would mention that lizard.

Ostriches aren't the fastest. What about chocobos?!

Also what's the fastest two-legged animal on water?

I only noticed cause I lost a bubble.

Did not!

*waves shiny keys to distract from the "edited as of today" note at the bottom of the post*

Maybe not. I got -rep for the OP.

Double exp hasn't started, so my guess would be sometime between now and then. Probably tomorrow.

So because you don't need a feature, nobody does?

There's some serious truth here!

That would give a clear advantage to those using vanguard weapons, which would open up a can of worms and make costume parts no longer just for show. Devs don't want that.

Devs were also opposed to giving us weapons that appeared to be non-lethal to begin with. Like a fire sword. This is probably the reason; the next logical step is to want the swords to do that element, which starts balance concerns.

I'd rather my swords be for show and not have to pick certain ones because they're superior to other options.
